The lack of interest in WW2 today isn't just about it but rather people have always had a limited interest in history and it's become even more obvious with the current generations.
History has always been a complicated subject since the winners of conflicts in the past are the ones who get to write the history. So learning about real history with facts vs. a persons POV or a countries POV of history also becomes a problem. History about WW2 is going to differ in degrees depending if you live in the US, France, UK, Japan, Germany, Russia,China,etc... and it's probably pretty safe to say that no country is going to give you the facts without really digging deep. Even after you find historical facts that you can prove you often find that people are still going to have opposite opinions of what happened (which often is why wars start in the first place-two different opinions).
I'm not defending kids lack of interest in WW2 or history but just understand that really studying history without so much of the BS that people (and countries) can pile on it requires some work if you want a accurate picture of events from the past.
I'm in my 30's, enjoy history at times and am a fan of WW2 movies in general (the scope of events are awesome). I also had family serving on both sides of the war in WW2 and understand what war can do to families on both sides of the conflict.
The most realistic war movies are the sad ones because people rarely gain more than what is lost in a war.
